With more than 4200 new cars on sale, choosing the right one is a daunting task – and it’s getting more difficult as more car makers launch more models and more versions of existing ones.

That’s why we produce our annual Car of the Year Awards. Nobody tests cars as thoroughly as we do, because we start by putting ourselves in your shoes to find out exactly what you need from your next new car.

The awards over the following web pages (including a new category for the best crossover) are all designed to help you choose the right car at the right price.
